I get your point, I really do. And I don’t mind people that have f150s and that sort of thing that makes a reasonable daily, and same for workers or people who really need a truck bed. But people who daily a lifted F350 dually with spacers for no utility purpose at all end up having a hobby that interferes with…

I think his environmental point is wrong. I drive a small sports car which happens to be fuel efficient sometimes but I also drive hard and burn extra gas. So I’m just as guilty of that, I know loving any kind of car has that guilt in the passion.

I think there is enough hype around the Bronco name and enough of an SUV market boom that this can exist. Wranglers have a very specific attitude that they represent... and there’s nothing else new, with modern safety and tech, that provides a similar option without the brand association. SUVs are soooo hot right now.…

Oh absolutely. No one questions the sanity of this car. It’s definitely insane and makes zero sense. Which is why I’m thrilled it exists! Maybe it’s to beat a specific Ring lap time for 4dr Sedans with the jag rivalry? Maybe it’s just because fuck it? For some reason someone wanted this specific car to go faster and…

Damn I had a nice reply typed out and my page refreshed! Here’s a summary

I mean, it is a track special. I haven’t liked the Comp M cars or any of the other “Track version” of most other cars. Not my jam. They don’t look better, they’re flashier in a trashier way, but they do go faster.

My buddy got one. I have to say it's the first modern car where I think I could get over the stick thing to own it.

Its a seat delete. See: every truly track focused version of a 4 door or 4 seat car; Mini Cooper JW GP from the early 00's, and more recently Jag Project 8 SVR, both of which lost rear seats for a structural brace

Yep. This is what makes it cool! They helped design this one as with the original. I have huge respect for Alfa for actually making this, and for FCA for allowing them to! It’s no GTV but damn it’s cool that the already poor-selling QV gets a track version. It’s the embodiment of the illogical passion that the brand…

I love GTIs but am by no means a hardline fan. I also love that the car still exists, the power is great, the quality and practicality will probably still be great. But I can tell you exactly what people are upset about. You’re supposed to be passionate about a sports car, and it’s hard when it looks so bulbous and…

You make some good points. I think repair costs will also come down to how a manufacturer lays out it’s interior controls. And I also agree that a single screen cleans up the interior a lot.

This looks like a base model current base model Golf which got some disease like the mumps that made it sag down and took away all of its character and inspiration. Super bland exterior, not the stylish-but-reserved thing the GTI has had the last few generations. The Golf family has lost all of the subtle design cues…

Gotta provide a counterpoint. Screens are in no way more reliable than a knob or switch failing— maybe on cheap beater cars that haven’t been maintained, a plastic knob will snap off, but i know in any car i’ve ever owned there has never been a failure of a knob or switch and I’ve never heard of them failing from…

I wanna see a new Alfa Quadrifoglio with an old Giulia face on it!! Do that one Torch!! I think it could actually look good...

SS what’s your take on carbon fiber? It seems to be all the rage in the car world these days

Actually pretty fun and decent graphics for a little manufacturer ad game!

The only really challenging ones were the RDX and the prototype car. I actually enjoyed the RDX despite being an RDX because it had slidely rally physics, a cliffside road, and you actually needed to brake. And some of the corners tightened/opened in a way that was more technical than the other tracks. The proto…

DOUBLE BONUS: 1998 Acura NSX - Sitting In A Collector’s Warehouse As Value Increases

I have a ‘99 manual AWD I love to death. Everything still works at 245k mi. Rolls like a boat, accelerates mostly like you think it would (but actually has some power climb around 4k rpm), creaks and squeaks, brake rotors are warped causing it to wobble, takes every bump as if it were a rock, is endlessly whippable…

Picked it up July of ‘17. Interior is flawless. Exterior has typical chips and stuff in the front bumper.
